A warm welcome to the Mohanji Foundation as the newest member of the Scottish Hindu Foundation.

We are delighted to welcome the Mohanji Foundation into the Scottish Hindu Foundation family, marking another important step in building a stronger, more connected Hindu community across Scotland.

What began through conversations at Scotland's International Yoga Day has now grown into a meaningful partnership, strengthened by Dr Richa Sinha MBE's recent visit to the Mohanji Centre of Benevolence in Aberdeenshire. It is encouraging to see relationships built on shared values quickly develop into lasting collaboration.

The Scottish Hindu Foundation was created with a simple purpose: to bring together Hindu organisations, mandirs, charities and community groups under a common vision, ensuring that Hindus across Scotland have a united voice, stronger representation and greater opportunities to work together for the benefit of society.

With every organisation that joins us, that vision becomes stronger. The growing support from communities across Scotland reflects an increasing desire to work collectively, share expertise and build institutions that will serve future generations.

We look forward to working alongside the Mohanji Foundation on initiatives that promote community wellbeing, interfaith engagement, education and authentic Hindu values, while celebrating our shared Dharma that makes our community so vibrant.

Together, we continue to build a confident, united and forward-looking Hindu community for Scotland.

Welcome to the Scottish Hindu family.

🙏 A proud milestone of collaboration

We are delighted to announce that the Mohanji Foundation has confirmed its membership of the Scottish Hindu Foundation, a commitment set in motion at Scotland's International Yoga Day, and now firmly cemented.

This was sealed in the most fitting way: by welcoming Dr Richa Sinha MBE, Chairperson of the Scottish Hindu Foundation, to the Mohanji Centre of Benevolence here in Aberdeenshire. Dr Sinha kindly came to visit our temple — dedicated to Shirdi Sai Baba, Lord Ganesha, Lord Shiva and Dattatreya and to meet Mohanji, founder of the Mohanji Foundation. It was a great pleasure to welcome her on a bright, sunny day, and she warmly remarked on the quality, peace and energy of the space.

Our temple stands as a place of peace open to all, while especially serving the Hindu community nearby, one part of the wider work the Mohanji Foundation continues to carry out across Scotland and beyond, in service of the whole community.

It was a true meeting of minds and hearts. Dr Sinha's thoughtful ideas and insights were warmly received by Mohanji and very much in line with our own thinking, and together we put concrete plans into motion for future collaboration across Scotland and the wider community.

As the official representative body of Hindus in Scotland, the Scottish Hindu Foundation gives the community a strong, shared voice and we are honoured to be part of it. Staying true to our shared principles of unity and mutual understanding, we look forward to meaningful progress and contribution in the years ahead.

Our heartfelt thanks to Dr Sinha for gracing us with her presence, here's to all that lies ahead together. 🌿

We are incredibly proud to announce that the Scottish Hindu Foundation's Chai & Hustings project has been named a Finalist in the Community Project of the Year category at the 3rd British Asian Women's Awards 2026!

This recognition celebrates a project that empowered civic participation and strengthened the voice of Scotland's Hindu community.

Through 15 town and city hustings across Scotland, we engaged with over 1,000 constituents, creating meaningful dialogue between communities and political representatives ahead of the elections.

The programme also marked the launch of the first Scottish Hindu Manifesto a landmark document outlining the priorities, aspirations and contributions of Scotland's Hindu community, helping to shape informed conversations with policymakers and candidates.

We are honoured to see this work recognised and would like to thank our Scottish Mandirs, every volunteer, partner organisation, candidates and community member who helped make Chai & Hustings a success.

Together, we're building a stronger, more engaged Scotland one conversation at a time. 🙏
